Women Portrayal
Women face oppression since the old days where they had no power to do or say anything but everything with a start has an end. Heroines are seen to rise and fight for women and fight for women’s rights, leadership, and a better lifestyle. In most cases, the tough experiences women experience challenges that tie them together through common threads. Both The Handmaidens Tale and Joy Luck Club shows of all the tough experience women face and in last come to a win. The work compares the portrayal of women in ″the handmaidens tale″ and ″the joy luck club″and how this concern the modern women.
Modern women and the women in the Joy luck club both take part in sexism. In the Joy Luck women in chine rarely speak freely to express their opinion. An-mei gets raped by her husband, and the last option she would do was to marry the man to retain the honor (Tan, 2016). Lindo works as a slave to her mother in law and the father. All expressed is that women should listen and follow what men demand.
The Handmaid’s Tales women are forbidden from reading, earning money, and those fertile are taken as baby-making robots. In chapter 28, women are denied to work anymore as the law enforced by men with machine guns do not allow women to hold properties. In chapter 28, Offred mother took part in feminist marches against abortion and pornography. The movement depicts a clear picture of modern women who march along the road against all the laws oppressing human and women’s rights.
In conclusion, Handmaidens Tale and Joy Luck Club novels show all the challenges women passes through which bond them together firm to fight, which is clear. Man and women expectation changes over time with women against oppression and fights for equality.
